Ayu's music: when did it start to go downhill for you?

[primavera♥]

Why do people act like taking a thousand yrs to make an album will result in masterpiece. It doesn't work that way.

Also real ayumi hamasaki? She's always been ayu. She just changes and grows. Now anyone can elaborate her need to be marketed as some fake product in her early career. But even if she was kinda forced to do stuff its still her

And I think some of u guys are really exaggerating on the lyrics department. Like if u hear so and so u fixate on it way too much
Ayus has written on various themes the past three albums that have been able to touch me and make me think.

I think its better that I became a fan in 2008 so that I could look at all the albums (GUILTY and earlier) at once. And not as if I grew up in these eras

Also question? Is there like super sky high standards for ayu that people don't give other artists. Like for me even a few of my least fav ayu songs still own most of the songs I've heard in jpop or music in general. But I guess I can never understand thinking certain so many songs from artist X,y,and x are soooo genius and original but ayus works are garbage
For me she's still on such a higher level than the average artist.
Like an artist who obviously releases a bunch of similar generic pop songs is okay. But if ayu releases two similar songs its an abomination?
@.@ ayu fans can be very ironic XD

Lalala~ poor ayu. Such a shame so many fans just can't enjoy her stuff as much anymore
